The group chanted “God is Great” while setting fire to the centuries-old temples.


"I have seen 11 wooden temples, two of them 300 years old, torched by the mob. They looted precious items and Buddha statues from the temples. Shops owned by Buddhists were also looted," local journalist Sunil Barua said.

violence was sparked by a photo posted on Facebook that allegedly insulted Islam.

which they claimed was posted by Uttam Barua, a local Buddhist man
[but]
Barua did not post the photo, and that he was linked to the photo after group called 'Insult Allah' tagged his name on the image.

The protesters said the picture had been posted by a Buddhist and they marched to Buddhist villages and set fire to temples and houses.

The riots later spread to Patia, home to a sizable Buddhist population, outside the southeastern port city of Chittagong, where mobs attacked and vandalised three temples

I can't wait for laws against blasphemy against the prophet are passed. No doubt this sort of thing will be legalized to assuage the perpetually outraged sensibilities of Muslims.

?!?!?!?!?!?!?

This may be an alternate image that supposedly sparked the violence:

Geeze,

I wonder if semi-literate old/bald hillbillies with long beards and bad attitudes could get away with targeting groups of people they found offensive?

(The old/bald hillbilly is me)

This is getting ridiculous

A bunch of animals. No reason for US taxpayer dollars to be spent on helping or bombing them though.

I am wondering how many of those Rioters have Computers and internet,, let alone Facebook accounts.

Sounds like someone went out and souped up a crowd,, deliberately.

the OP posts 25,000,, other news sources say "hundreds"..

I'm betting,,, dozens.

Muslims have been doing that to Buddhists for a LONG time. Buddhism was born in India but was driven out by the Muslims. A bad situation. But there are few situations, including this one, that cannot be made worse with US intervention.
